Edge Hill Road April 24, 2017: Milton DPW is drawing up plans to resurface Edge Hill Road between Pleasant Street and Waldeck Road. Tentative plans include a re-configured crosswalk with curb bump-outs for better visibility and high visibility signal lights, and (door zone) bike lanes for most of the length of the project. For more information, please visit the Town website: Truman Parkway / Brush Hill Road April 20, 2017:  After three fatalities on the state portion of Brush Hill Road last year, we've pressed our representatives for safety improvements there and on Truman Parkway. At a recent meeting, DCR revealed that their plans call for the installation of radar speed signs this summer, and later this year they will try to find money to put in new crosswalks and curb bumpouts so people can better see oncoming cars and safely cross the road. Long term, the agency will look at safety improvements to the Truman / Brush Hill / Amor intersection, and the possibility of eliminating a travel lane in each direction to discourage speeding and unsafe passing, to make room for a northbound bike lane, and to improve sight lines for people on side streets. If you want to see these changes happen, please let Senator Timilty and Representative Driscoll know! We have heard that part of Truman Parkway will be re-surfaced this year, after utility work is completed. We do not have details for locations and project limits (endpoints) yet. Granite Avenue Road Safety Audit April 5, 2017  The intersection of Granite Ave and I-93 was recently listed as the third-most-crash-prone in the state. We participated in a road safety audit to evaluate the area and look at potential for future improvements.
